Working with All Hands Volunteers I around to various villages seeing the remote areas of Fiji building toilets and showers for people in need. We worked and ate with Fijians everyday. The organization is made up of good hearted, energetic people who give their all to help people who have suffered losses from cyclone Winston. Smetimes it eas hard dirty work, but it was always fun. One day everyone - volunteers & staff- hiked off the road 45 minutes to a remote settlement carrying materials to build toilets for people who had not been reached by anyone 5 months after the cyclone hit.
The organization works closely with the government and other NGO's to assess needs and provide vital services. I felt confident the work I did had a positive impact on people who really needed support. The tears and gratitude of the people we built with and for were confirmation our efforts were worthwhile. I'm not strong or experienced with building, but I learned a lot and felt like a valuable member of the team.

My trip to Fiji with All Hands Volunteers was my first trip out of the country and it was the perfect situation for me. The island of Fiji is extraordinarily kind and helpful to begin with and the AHV staff just went above and beyond in their positions. The other volunteers were very nice and fun to be around. The work was very difficult but I would still 10/10 recommend.
The villages we worked in showed us the true culture of Fiji which was an experience I will always remember.

I have many cracker stories. And the best part is they all involve people from countries all over the world. Fijian culture to myself has been a massive eye opener, you go to villages and rural communities to help and rebuild what you can. But in exchange you receive a generous host that is willing to drop everything to help you with your task, cook pancakes and make tea and be your immediate friend. They have near to nothing but are prepared to give you everything they have really makes you reevaluate how we live back in western society.

All Hands Volunteers is an amazing organization, who genuinely keeps in mind what is best for the communities they are impacting. It has been incredible to work alongside them, and feel that what we're doing here is important. All the staff and other volunteers are wonderful and friendly, and you feel a part of once you arrive. It is an experience like no other, and I recommend it to anybody. You will have the time of your life!
